MTG Arena is another major competitor and another game which isn’t nearly as generous. Dedicated players can end up spending a huge sum before you get everything you want. Hearthstone allows players to build certain decks for free, but others require you to fork out for card packs. Some of its biggest competitors lock content behind paywalls, forcing players to spend money to obtain all the new cards. It’s easy to take LoR’s approach for granted.

Knowing I can collect everything LoR has to offer for free is an incredible feeling, and one that’s truly rare in this genre.

That applies to the 110 cards being added in update 2.3 as part of Empires of the Ascended. There’s not a single card you can’t unlock for free, and there are so many in the game already. New expansions will never require you to open your wallet, making the game more accessible and deck-building less restrictive. Knowing that you can build towards any deck you want just by playing makes gameplay more enjoyable because you’re always gaining new unlocks and there’s always something to work towards. This approach means players will be more invested in the game overtime. It’s entirely unobtrusive – you can ignore it completely and the gameplay won’t be affected at all. Legends of Runeterra makes its money through a cosmetic shop, where players can purchase new boards or cute creatures to cheer them on as they play. This is such a great model because it puts the player first, ensuring that no one will ever have to fear missing out on particular content. You’ll never be restricted to playing just one type of region or deck archetype. Over time though, you can unlock every card in the game without spending a single penny. If you prefer a different playstyle, you can switch to another region, from the snowy wastes of Freljord to the creepy, haunted Shadow Isles. Go down the Bilgewater path to unlock cards associated with that particular region of Runeterra (like sea monsters and pirates). There are different reward paths to take too, providing even more free cards for each specific region in the game. You can complete daily quests to gain XP, then use that XP to level up a weekly vault which will explode with new cards to add to your collection. Every card is available for free, and every future expansion will be too. In Legends of Runeterra, you’re practically showered with rewards. Almost a year after the game’s full launch – and with its Empires of the Ascended expansion launching today – this statement still holds true. So when I first gave Legends of Runeterra a go, I was surprised to see how generous the game actually is.
